Set upon 100 private waterfront acres on Micalo Island in Yamba, Micalo Estate is one of the premier luxury wedding destinations on the Australian East Coast. Combining expansive riverfront lawns, pristine coastal light and resort-style Mediterranean architecture, it provides an unforgettable blank canvas for couples looking for an exclusive multi-day celebration.
For Chloe and Jai's wedding, Charter Music curated live solo music across the afternoon - guiding guests from the intimate riverside ceremony into sun-soaked sunset canapés by the water.
Riverside Ceremony Under the Trees
The ceremony took place against the natural backdrop of Micalo's ancient trees and wide open waterways. With sprawling outdoor grounds, our solo acoustic setup utilized high-clarity cordless sound reinforcement, ensuring every guest experienced pristine vocal clarity and warm guitar tones without obtrusive cables or generators.
Ceremony & Canapés Soundtrack
Live Acoustic CurationAs Chloe made her entrance in a stunning beaded gown, the acoustic soloist delivered a delicate, stripped-back rendition of Noah Reid's "Simply the Best" that set an emotional, grounded tone for their vows. Following the first kiss, the acoustic guitar burst into an upbeat groove of Ray LaMontagne's "You Are the Best Thing" as guests showered the newlyweds in confetti and raised their glasses of champagne.

Canapés, Oysters & Sunset Soul
As the afternoon golden hour settled over the Clarence River, guests gathered on the lawns for freshly shucked oysters, signature cocktails and canapés. The soloist transitioned the musical energy into soulful reimagined classics - flowing effortlessly between Leon Bridges, classic Fleetwood Mac arrangements, and sun-drenched coastal grooves.
The beauty of a skilled live soloist is the organic ability to match the afternoon's rising energy - creating a magnetic, sophisticated buzz while leaving plenty of space for conversation and laughter.
"Charter Music made booking so easy and stress-free. The live music absolutely nailed our vibe - from the ceremony through to the canapés, the energy was exactly right."
